Telluric, the man walks on the land, demarcating territory, picking a place and saying: here is where we shall establish a town. Were he able to fly, he would not have marked the lands, and he would not own them. There would be no walls, nor barriers, nor any kind of borders.

Imagining a world where the soil was no longer spoilt, but preserved, where we could occupy other planes with complete grace and agility, where we would no longer be attached to the ground, but more independent gravity-wise we idealized an unrestricted bridge towards the Man of the future, developed and free.

Century XXI starts with a wide world communication network via the Internet. Whereas in the virtual realm intercontinental relationships are vast and unlimited, in physical terms the shortcomings of linking countries around the globe are many. We propose a new global communication network that is respectful of the economic, social and cultural conditions of each little corner of the Earth, bearing the least environmental impact possible. We add a new layer connecting the several points of the planet in the Troposphere, a new grid made up of highly technological materials, connecting the countries via the different modes of transportation in different speeds, in addition to varied infrastructures and the possibility to create different programs. Now is the time to explore that which is above the soil, leaving it free for the development of native vegetation (that contribute so much to the climatic balance), to cultivating foodstuffs and preserving rivers and oceans.

Our proposal is to link America to Eurasia, passing by the Diomede Islands; but it could be extended to all continents. It is about an extraordinary aerial infrastructure, 650 meters high above the sea, primarily built with carbon fiber framework so that we there are few supporting points along the 85 km path linking Cape Prince of Wales of the United States and Cape Dezhnev of Russia. The envelope is constructed of a double wall glazed façade with Aerogel situated between the glazing layers, providing a high degree of thermal insulations vis-à-vis the extreme climatic conditions of the Bering Strait. Huge skylights at the top work as light collectors capturing the sunlight from the south and the east. Wind turbines and solar photo voltaic cells to produce electricity, in order to reduce the bridge’s dependency on the grid.

Located between the islands and exactly on the axis of the National Border Line and the International Date Line, is the Peace Park. In a circle format, 1.000 meters in diameter, 500 meters high above the sea, it has no right nor left, no borders and no tips, no sharp edges. Located between today and tomorrow, timeless, whole in the infinite.

Under the Peace Park we have the Peace Memorial, a steel and glass sphere, 150 meters in diameter, in constant slow movement around the Park. Inside it, spiral footbridge lead visitors to the lower pole, representing the total re-connection of continents, from the North Pole, where they are geographically located, to the South Pole, where they would symbolically reach at the end of the circuit. Going back to the Peace Park, people would be able to choose between using the spiral footbridges or large elevators, of very high capacity.

The connection between the two islands is made via a highly isolated and well-conditioned bridge, located under the Peace Park and at the level of the Diomedes tops, which are to be left empty, with their nature preserved.

The rest of the program consists of a research facility and infrastructure for those who work in the area: housing, hospital, education facilities, other supporting facilities, hotels, commercial/retail and various leisure spaces in addition to parking lots, train stations, airports and helipads is sheltered by the aerial infrastructure connecting the two continents.

This set, with unprecedented plastic and visual characteristics, will be a landmark for world transformation, providing new directions to technology and science, delivering a new path to peace and a new relationship among the peoples.
